I don't comment on fics. idc if this is a "community" I will not leave a comment. it's the whole REBLOGS DO NOTHING all over again.

fwiw while i'm not a fic writer, it really means a lot to me when people leave their thoughts in tags and it also counters the usual 'lol why even bother it's not like anyone cares' thought -- which is not something you're responsible for fixing, of course, but if you specifically enjoy someone's work then maybe you do owe them something small at least for the enjoyment their work brought to you? i don't have an ao3 account but sometimes i leave anonymous comments or kudos on stuff i enjoyed because i want to thank the author for a good time. you didn't say you didn't leave kudos, so i'm hoping you do at least that.

in general, i think it's important for everyone to be aware that fandom has a community aspect and some of the things that i enjoyed the most in fandom was building stuff WITH other people and discussing things WITH other people, and if you take that away you just have like...content creators that you don't engage with? that's a very passive position to take in a fandom space and imo that's a void rather than a presence (lurking is/was a thing of course but i think lurkers still saw creators as People that they shared a space with, because the framing of fandoms was still a Community)

i'm not saying you must leave a comment or be publicly drawn and quartered, i'd just like people to think about how they engage with fandom and if they do at all. i'd also like to avoid any kind of implication that comments/reactions are 'owed' or 'non-creators pulling their weight/paying their dues' because that's transactional and also Not Community, i just want people to think about if and how they share the love and enjoyment of the media in common with others with sincerity.

imo dni and dnf etc are less "if you interact with any of my posts i will kill you where you stand" and more "these are my views and things i stand firmly on, if you're not okay with it, then why are you here?". i think it's silly to expect ppl to check op's dni for every post they like or reblog but i do think it's fair to expect that people who disagree with what you stand for or dislike what you enjoy should just not follow you. bc like. that's literally on them. it's more of a "don't say i didn't warn you" yknow? 🤔

thinking about Udai and how post-timeskip he seems settled where he is in terms of life and volleyball and the distinctly monstrous glint in his eye when he learns that he's awakened new little giants and inspired players that he might never even know and that he's had an impact and just -when is a monster not a monster? false question a monster is always a monster even when its asleep

hm. perhaps the fact that i'm currently in the process of carefully curating the contents of the e-reader i'm gonna give to my sister — pretending of course that i did no such thing — so that, on the off chance that she doesn't just clear out everything to put her own book collection without looking twice at what was on there, it will give off a certain image of me... well perhaps that's not super well-adjusted behaviour. but what do i even know about that

I see Schumer has now compeletely stopped pretending that when she posts about 'terrorists' it doesn't mean 'Gazans' and 'Muslims'. This is actually a very good example of radicalization and the evolution of genocidal rhetoric

ok so first this is an absolutely epic takedown of everything the first person said, but also i can draw a direct line to my mom, my brother, or myself in damn near everything she said

i'll start by saying that of the three of us, i'm probably the most notable outlier bc i lived the first 19 years of my life as a girl prior to coming out and i was diagnosed sometime around 4th-6th grade iirc, and not only that but my mom was alerted that i was having some kind of social issues as early as pre-school, so as far as (people who were born as) girls go, i would say i'm a bit of an outlier

(side note - to anyone who for whatever reason has been keeping strict track of the things i've said concerning my family who's suddenly wondering why i'm now lumping my mom in with my brother and i as autistic when i've almost certainly explicitly said otherwise, the reason is that she finally admitted it earlier this week. proud of you, mom! admittedly she didn't remember she'd denied it in the past bc we're all also adhders but that's a separate thing)

anyway! my brother is a textbook case of getting adhd diagnosed significantly prior to the autism diagnosis, and while my mom hasn't been diagnosed with either one (and probably won't be bc she doesn't see the need and doesn't need the validation and also it's not nearly as subtle as i think she might have thought it was bc mom that level of incredibly specific history knowledge and need to share it is not "a casual interest"), she's more or less in the same boat (if you replace "diagnosed" with "noticed")

i'm tired and also way more bored of typing this than i was when i started (oops) so i'll skip whatever else i was thinking about that i totally didn't just completely forget about haha nope not me and say that i also as part of my current job have been and will for a bit continue to interact with a lot of autistic and similar people, and many of the people i've met who have more support needs simply would not use almost any social media app i've seen, either due to lack of ability, lack of interest, or bc the apps are innocently inaccessible at best and incredibly hostile to diverse needs at worst

(also - and this is not something i'm qualified in any way to dive into but it is something i have heard about and believe is worth mentioning in the hopes that someone who is more qualified might choose to step in - concerning racial biases in diagnoses, black and latino children (particularly black boys and latino girls, i think? not sure about that at all) are very frequently diagnosed with oppositional defiant disorder or odd instead of other more fitting diagnoses such as adhd, autism, bipolar disorder, etc. since - as this whole borderline essay has likely already made apparent through the privileges i've displayed both consciously and likely also not - i am white, this isn't something i've been directly affected by nor something i paid much attention to until relatively recently. but i do think it's worth acknowledging and keeping in mind when discussing diagnostic biases)

an eloquent take down of the "people are self diagnosing autism to be trendy and for attention" take that morons have been echoing on tiktok
